About forty years ago someone lent me a cassette tape of a fairly
big-name mainstream singer like Tony Bennett or Frankie Laine that
had, of all things, a version of North to Alaska on it. It was a
fairly lively version of the song but what I particularly remember is
that the hero was NOT Sam McCord but a *Polish* name, such as Sam
Kowalksi! Very strange. I've just downloaded the Frankie Laine version
of the song from one of the Newsgroups and I thought that this would
be the one but it isn't -- Frankie is singing about Sam McCord. I've
just spent a certain amount of time with Google and Bing and I can't
track this down. Can anyone here give me the name of that artist?
Many thanks!
Hi Bob, a quick search of Napster revealed Johnny Horton.
Sounds like the song from the movie of the same name a fun little
movie, by the way).
Hope this helps!- Stoney
